There were numerous pop culture references as Veronica and Archie searched for clues about the Conway family murder, as well as an old presidential clip.

INSIDER worked with Archie Comics to reveal six references you might have missed.

1/

Cheryl calls Archie and Veronica Xenomorphs when they are making out at school.

It's a quick moment.
The CW

These are what the alien species in the "Alien" film franchise are called. It's a funny sci-fi reference to quickly throw in the episode.

2/

FP Jones says he has no desire to go back to Shankshaw Prison.

It was an awkward diner experience.
Katie Yu/The CW

This is a play on Shawshank Prison, a fictional prison from Stephen King's novella "Rita Hayworth and Shawshank Redemption." The novella was the basis for the Academy Award-nominated film "The Shawshank Redemption."

The film follows Andy, a man falsely imprisoned for the murder of his wife and her lover, and Red, a man he befriends in prison.

3/

President Nixon is on the TV during the Riverdale Reaper flashback sequence.

He's reading a speech.
The CW

You can briefly hear him say "sharp surprise" in the clip. This is a phrase he used in an address to the nation April 29, 1974 where he announced his answer to the House Judiciary Committee's subpoena for additional presidential tapes in relation to the Watergate scandal.

4/

FP and Jughead's conversation in the bar features an almost verbatim line from a small scene in "The Godfather II."

FP is disappointed.
The CW

When FP hugs Jughead, he tells him he knows about the delivery he did, even though it was the one thing FP told Jughead not to do.

"You broke my heart, Jughead," he says as he grabs Jughead's head and then kisses him on the forehead.

In "The Godfather II," Michael grabs his brother by the head, kisses his forehead, and says, "I know it was you, Fredo. You broke my heart." Watch the full scene here.

5/

Jughead makes a reference to "The Nightmare on Elm Street."

He was played by Tony Todd.
The CW

He calls Farmer McGinty, the creepy guy from the car during last week's episode, Freddy Krueger. Krueger is the serial killer from the "Nightmare on Elm Street" film series who kills his victims in their dreams, which results in their real deaths.

There also seems to be a reference to "American Horror Story: Murder House." Whether the "Murder House" reference to the creepy home where the Conway family was killed was intentionally meant to reference "American Horror Story," it's hard not to compare the two. Both homes were filled with death.

6/

Another pop culture references included "Coyote Ugly."

Betty did a little pole dance.
The CW

Betty's mom calls her "Coyote Ugly" after she finishes her pole dance. "Coyote Ugly" is a movie about a bar where the bartenders perform and dance. It's based on the real Coyote Ugly Saloon, now an international chain.
